Hi, I recently tried to post a question in this forum - without success, I didn’t realize I’d not entered a title, this was the what I saw on my screen:
The title field with missing title message wasn’t visible and I had no idea why Create Topic wasn’t responding. Think you need to change something so that people know what’s missing
Is that on Safari? Everything seems OK here on FF/Chrome/Windows… Haven’t ever seen that one myself, but I don’t often post from the Mac side.
No this is a Chrome window, after not being able to post in Chrome I went to Safari where every thing was clear.
Once I understood F11 in Chrome solved the problem
Hi - could the problem have been that the warning was outside the visible window? You seem to have a very small browser window there and the warning “Title is required” appears next to the empty title field - which is not visible in your image.
I’m viewing this on a 23 ins. monitor, the problem is the forum header takes up 25% of the browser window:
Good thread title so re-activating.
Has anyone else noticed today that dragging an image (copy/paste?) to a thread reply causes the post editor to jump unexpectedly? It’s supposed to stay where you inserted the image, or one line below, but now scrolls up earlier in the reply, perhaps to the beginning?
This is new and annoying.
This type of forum spoils us. Other forums… even in 2024… are horrible.
I think Sketchup uses the same forum if I recall (haven’t been there for ages).
I can’t get that behavior with dragging a jpg from a file editor - but I am seeing something like that when dragging from a graphic element in browser.
In any event - there has been a new jumpiness effect that has been reported on Discourse forums generally that appears to have begun in late July, somehow related to down-scrolling gestures - there are discussions on other websites that use the forum software, so perhaps it’s related to that.
I’ve noticed that the jump behavior happens when the reply is long, filling the composer. I’ll try to demonstrate and record the process.
Here is a brief video of what I see when I drag images to the forum editor. It jumps twice, once when I drop it and again when the upload completes.
The video is not great, longer would be better.
This new forum bug is extremely annoying because the jump happens twice. Once when you drop the dragged image, forcing a manual scroll to the bottom, and once more when the file finishes uploading, forcing a second manual scroll to the bottom to drag another file (image or GH).
